The Directors Guild of America is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year and to help celebrate the occasion they’ve taken it upon themselves to pick the 80 greatest directorial achievements from the past 80 years of film. The resulting list is based on poll results submitted by over 2000 members and also includes only movies directed by members of the guild. While many of the films mentioned are the usual suspects seen on all-time best of lists, it is interesting that The Godfather beat out Citizen Kane for the top spot, despite the latter seeming like an obvious winner from a directorial point of view. There are also a few fairly recent entries including Birdman, Avatar, There Will Be Blood and The Hurt Locker. Do you agree with these choices? Check out the full list after the jump and see what you think.
